Proton, which focuses on privacy, suggests Apple due to anti -competition practices and fees

Proton Proton Proton, Proton Mail, proton calendar, Proton Drive, and other applications, He filed a lawsuit against AppleAnti -competition practices in the Apple App Store. In the new lawsuit, Proton says that the iPhone is monopolized in smartphone markets, distributing applications and processing application applications. It also compares the Apple fees to definitions on the Internet trade, describing them as “artificial and arbitrary.”

The lawsuit searches for changes in the application store and critical damage, which Proton says will be donated to organizations fighting for democracy and human rights.

Court papersIt was presented in the northern region of California, which is part of a larger collective suit against Apple. Proton says he joins other developers, including a A group of Korean developersThose who receive the technology giant.

The lawsuit is one of the latest Apple strangulation in the mobile phone app.

This is followed by another battle over the years between Epic Games and Apple, which Apple won largely as it was He declared not being a monopolyA precedent for the new case of the argument. However, the judge in this case as well I ruled that Apple should allow us to connect the application developers To their web sites where they offer alternative payment mechanisms, without imposing a commission on those sales. (Apple is still fighting this issue when appeals.)

The state of the proton takes a different angle. He cited the epic condition, saying that the evidence has proven that Apple achieves a great profit on the application store fees that wonder whether the fees are really necessary to support the maintenance of the application store, as it claims Apple.

Likewise, the proton faces a problem with Apple policies on payments. It indicates how Apple prevents developers from speaking directly to their customers in the application, as they can inform them of discounts on the web. In addition, applications that do not support the Apple payment system are at risk of removing it from the application store, as the case shows.

The arguments about payments go deep into other nuances about how the system works, such as how difficult it is to manage payments and subscriptions across the devices due to Apple bases. For example, the company Explanation in a blog post Customers who promoted their web accounts cannot reduce the classification of their iOS, a bad experience for customers.

Proton also argues that its calendar application cannot be set as default, Although iOS allows users to exchange Virtual settings for other applications such as browsers, email, phone calls, messages and more. It indicates that the proton engine is restricted from the background processing, while iCloud is not.

It is worth noting that the PROTON condition focuses on how to make the Apple individual distribution point with the application store tool that dictatorships around the world use to silence freedom of expression. On this front, all applications that Apple must remove to comply with laws in markets such as Russia and China. Proton says this decision flows to iOS developers, as is when his VPN application was threatened with removal because he claimed “canceling the prohibition of control sites.”

“The monopoly control of the distribution of programs on iOS devices presents countless problems for consumers, companies and society as a whole,” says Proton’s post. “The anti -pregnancy laws exist because the talented authority through a monopoly status inevitably leads to ill -treatment. In the case of few technology giants, these violations have widespread implications for society, which is vital for the future of the Internet that is now treated.”
